    I wouldn't say it's a need, more like a rabbit hole of worry: 1. Injury Risk (though that stands for most of MLB rotations these days) 2. Closer 3. Catching 4. 3B defense 5. LHB? 6. 1B defense

    That's what 11th percentile means typically. Time to check out Statcast for once rather than talking about Helsley trades.
  4. mvp 78
    It should be settled by the time hitters report IMO

    Catching situation Bad defense at 1B Bad defense at 3B Not enough LHP mashers No viable closer Overall health of everyday lineup and rotation Duran's predictable fall back to earth Anticipated slow starts for prospect callups Masataka Yoshida's impact on the 26 man roster Was Cora a one hit wonder in 2018?
  6. mvp 78
    Yup. I'm not sure if they actually pull the trigger. I think the beat writers are getting antsy now that pitchers and catchers are reporting tomorrow.

    Per offensive bWAR this is how Bregman would have stacked up on the BOS roster the past few years: 24 - 2nd 23 - 1st 22 - 2nd 🫠
  8. mvp 78
    I'm not going to get worked up over hypothetical bad trades until one actually happens. Plan 1: Sign Bregman to a 3-4 year deal Plan 2: Trade low level prospect(s) for Arrenado's full contract Plan 3: Shrug and say "at least we tried" to the fans

    Attaching Casas for them to take Yoshida is fricking stupid.

    He's been an 800 OPS hitter every year except for '21 and '24. If he had a normal bb rate last season, he would have been there again.
  11. mvp 78
    His hard hit rate was up, but his bb rate was the lowest of his career. He was selling out for power in a contract year and the numbers barely moved a blip IMO. His OBP crashed out by 50 points and his OPS was an all time low. If you look at his spray charts, he only had success as a pull hitter. OR it's just one season and the numbers can be fluky year to year... There isn't a great trend with him though.
  12. mvp 78
    Crawford is the odd man out pending a ST injury to one of the starting 5 which is not unlikely.
  13. mvp 78
    I was showing you the xISO and xSLG for a guy with no power that you claim has power. Duh.
  14. mvp 78
    Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes and only because of the 300k and OPS number reached. He k'd 191 times in 2017 at a 34% rate and carried a 765 OPS. For another 100 outs, he'd have to have an insane BABIP and SLG to be above 750 with 300K.
  15. mvp 78
    Strong disagree.
  16. mvp 78
    I underlined the part about them making bad decisions and wrong turns while on a path of eventually succeeding. That's what I believe they are trying to do.
  17. mvp 78
    There's no "fooling." I'm going to buy the product until they are deserving of me passing them over. I think many of us see that there is a long term play here, which is why they built up the farm system in the first place. Should they be going over the CBT every other year in the mean time? Yes. That was purely the fault of the CBO. Breslow at least spent roughly what Bloom did but had a team that was more entertaining to watch and ended the season at least in shouting distance of the playoffs.
  18. mvp 78
    Well, I highlighted the section I think is applicable.
  19. mvp 78
    That's what the adage "low risk, low reward" means.
  20. mvp 78
    #3 hitters last season: O'Neill 57 GS Refsnyder 26 GS Masa 17 GS Wong 16 GS Casas 16 GS (6 times after Devers was done for the year)* Abreu 16 GS Story 6 GS Devers 4 GS Romy 3 GS Dom 2 GS Garrett Friggin Cooper 1 GS *Casas hit 3rd 10 times in an order that went Duran/Abreu/Casas/Raffy. 🤨
  21. mvp 78
    If you look at his xSLG and his ISO, it shows he does "not have all that much power."
  22. mvp 78
    Nope, that's a secondary affect of what they are doing though.
  23. mvp 78
    Low risk, low reward with those three contracts.
  24. mvp 78
    They offered Imanaga a larger contract and he elected to sign with the Cubbies.
  25. mvp 78
    Also, with a looming lockout in 2027, I don't expect players to be getting mega deals next offseason.
